Macchia Mediterranea Monotheme

Ahh... I'm still completely blown away by memories *laugh*
Otherwise, I'm not very interested in men's fragrances, or those labeled as such, on me.
A dear friend from the perfume world gave me a few Monotheme samples, and this one caught my attention right away.

You might not get much from this, but I'll tell you what immediately came to mind, what feelings were awakened when I sprayed Macchia Mediterranea.

Many summer days in the 80s suddenly flashed through my mind. My regular pool, my clique, the lifeguards, where we girls constantly hung out because of the cute boys, swimming, frolicking, being silly, first attempts at flirting, waiting in line at the kiosk, buying sweets for a few pennies and a bowl of fries for 1.50 DM, sunscreen, a T-shirt over my bikini, and laughing, laughing, laughing.

Ahh.... It was soooo beautiful *sigh*

The scent itself is truly like summer. I almost thought there was a hint of coconut in it, but ultimately it's the fig and amber that dominate for my nose at first. To me, it smells like suntan oil mixed with sunscreen, sunshine, vacation, green plants starting to bloom.
After a while, the fig takes a back seat, and what remains is something light, citrusy, paired with a bit of musk and something herbal, which is surely the woody note. Every now and then, the fig flashes again and brushes past you like the wind when you're riding your bike home along the fields after a wonderfully beautiful day at the pool. The wind in your hair, the lush fields, and that smell of summer that has always brought a smile to your lips. Bliss... Yes.

This scent is not just for men. Not at all!
BUT.... The bottle should be large because unfortunately, this fragrance - like most scents from Monotheme - doesn't last long.

Maybe I could give you a little summer feeling. Every nose perceives differently, but for me, this is MY "Summer in the 80s memory scent."
